I went to the Chelsea drugstore
You can't always get what you want
And you cannot always get the man that you want
I just might find, I just might find you get what you need
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
You can't always get what you want
And you cannot always get the man that you want
And he said one word to me and that was "dead”
But if you try sometimes
I saw her today at the reception
And you can't always satisfy your need
We decided that we would have a soda
And you can't always get what you want
And I said, you can't always get what you want
I sung my song to my friend Mr. Jimmy
To get your prescription filled
Just might find, you just might find you get what you need, ah yeah
But if you try sometimes
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
My favorite flavor is cherry red
But if you try sometimes
And I said, you can't always get what you want, honey
And I said, that you can't always get what you want, honey
In her glass was a bleeding man
At her feet was a footloose man
And you can't always get what you want, honey
But if you try sometimes
I was standing in line with your friend Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
I could tell by her bloodstained hands
Well, you might just find, you'll get what you need
She was practiced at the art of deception
